Fringe

Michael Anastassiades for Mutina. It is a tile divided into a series of parallel segments of two widths, directly engraved onto the surface. The pronounced grout spacing forms a “brick like” design and can be woven into multiple patterns through a simple interplay of a change in orientation. The result is a series of seamless carpets with or without borders which demarcate spaces, perfectly adapting to each environment. 

The collection is realized in a single size of 12,3x12,3 cm, declined in two variants: Thin, with segments of 6 mm, and Bold, with segments of 15mm, conceived to be modular with a joint of 3mm. Each element is available in five colors: White, Anthracite, Grey, Red and Rose. The final product is suitable for floor and wall institution in both residential and commercial spaces, indoor and outdoor. We advise the use of epoxy grout to guarantee great chromatic stability over time and resistance to wear. Depending on the color of the used grout, in tone or in contrast, the end result changes significantly.

Cypriot-born yet London-based designer Michael Anastassiades joined the Mutina team in 2023 with the Fringe collection.

“I always liked how open plan interiors allow for different functions to take place in multiple layouts. Yet, the space always seems to divide itself naturally in clearly defined areas, as a sequence of activities across the floor. You can imagine these taking place over a series of perfectly fitted rectangular carpets, each with a different pattern, marking a territory for each act. The most interesting moment in the point when you move from one to the next, the act to follow defined by the fringe around the borders.”
